John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadows his quality of being a civil rights activist.

Explanation:

"Preaching to the Chickens: The Story of Young John Lewis" is a book written by Jabari Asim, portraying the life of young John Lewis.

After John Lewis began to take care of the chickens on his farm, he took it as an opportunity to hone his preaching. He began to consider the chickens on farm as his congregation. When his parents would take chickens to kill and cook them, he would refuse to eat chicken and would not talk to his parents. He asserts that this form of showing disapproval marked a beginning in his life as a non-violent protesters. So, in this way, John's reaction to the chicken being killed foreshadow his future as a civil rights activist. He, at an early age, began to defend those who were not able to speak for themselves.
